Shots Fired: FEC Complaint Filed Against Trump

A Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against presidential candidate Donald Trump was filed by a Republican lawyer following allegations that Trump is unlawfully mixing his corporate interests with his campaign.

This comes a week after the Trump Organization’s attorney, Alan Garten, sent letters to pro-Jeb Bush groups threatening legal action if  the ads contain “any false, misleading, defamatory, inaccurate or otherwise tortuous statements concerning Mr. Trump, his businesses or his brand.”

As reported on The Hill:


Charlie Spies, a lawyer who is advising the pro-Bush political action committees, argued in a return letter obtained by The Hill that Trump’s threats violate the FEC’s “prohibition on a federal candidate’s use of corporate resources for campaign purposes.”

“Although your client may think he is above the law and be accustomed to using lawsuits to bail out his failed business deals, the Federal Election Campaign Act and the FEC’s Regulations nonetheless apply to him and his campaign,” Spies writes.



“Perhaps the attached complaint, filed today, will serve as a reminder of your client’s legal obligations under federal election laws,” the letter continues. “Just as your client is attempting to quickly learn the basics of foreign policy, we wish you personally the best in your attempts to learn election law.”
